Bob Marley & The Wailers

Revolution

Revelation reveals the truth - revelation.

(revolution, revolution, revolution - oooo-doo-doo-doo-doo)

(revolution - oooo-doo-doo-doo-doo)

It takes a revolution (revolution) to make a solution;

(doo-doo-doo-doo)

Too much confusion (aaa-aaah), so much frustration, eh!

I don't want to live in the park (live in the park);

Can't trust no shadows after dark (shadows after dark), yeah-eh!

So, my friend, I wish that you could see,

Like a bird in the tree, the prisoners must be free, yeah! (free)

Never make a politician (aaa-aaah) grant you a favour;

(doo-doo-doo-doo)

They will always want (aaa-aaah) to control you forever, eh!

(forever, forever)

So if a fire make it burn (make it burn, make it burn)

And if a blood make ya run (make ya run, run, run),

Rasta de 'pon top (aaa-aaah), can't you see? (doo-doo-doo-doo)

So you can't predict the flop. eh-eh! (doo-doo-doo-doo)

We got lightning (lightning), thunder (thunder),

Brimstone (brimstone) and fire - fire (fire, fire);

Lightning (lightning), thunder (thunder),

Brr-brimstone (brimstone) and fire - fiyah - fire - fiyah!

(fire, fire)

Kill, cramp and paralyze all weak at conception;

(aaa-aaah, doo-doo-doo-doo)

Wipe them out of creation (creation), yeah-eah! (creation)

Wa-jah, jah, jah! wa-jah, jah, jah! (creation)

Wa-jah, jah, jah! (creation)

Oh! let I'es is I'es (i'es), in I'es is black (i'es),

In I'es is red (i'es), in I'es is dread.

Let righteousness cover the earth

Like the water (aaa-aaah) cover the sea, yeah! yeah!

Lightning (lightning), doo-doo-doo (thunder),

Doo-doo-doo (brimstone), doo-doo-doo (fire, fire);

A lightning (lightning), thunder (thunder),

Brimstone (brimstone) and fire.
